prepared by members or invited guests, by the singing of patri- 
otic songs and the discussion of questions pertaining to the 
formation of the Republic, and by the observance, when prac- 
ticable, of historic anniversaries — we may thoroughly familiarize

Resolved: 1. That the genealogy of members of the National 
Society, D. A. R., be published under the name of the "Lineage 
Books" — the first book to contain the genealogies of the Charter 
Members (818), the other books to contain those of 1.000 members, 
excepting the second, which will contain all between the last Charter 
Member and the number 2,000. 

2. That the first book be printed immediately, and the succeed- 
ing books as rapidly as they can be prepared. 

3. That the Chapters be informed that the Lineage Books in 
paper binding will be sold at 50 cents a volume, and that they be 
requested to send their orders for the books as promptly as possible 
that the Printing Committee may know the number of copies to 
have printed. 

The first Lineage Book (sometimes called Year Book) contains 
the genealogy, as it appears on the second page of the application 
papers. 

Please send your order for copies of the book, price to be paid 

on delivery, to

The American Monthly' Magazine enters upon its third year and fifth volume in July, 1894. By 
direction of the third Continental Congress, the Board of Management of the Daughters of the American 
Revolution have adopted the following plan for the future conduct of the Magazine : 

The numbers are to appear between the 7th and 15th days of each month, and with the exception 
of the March and April numbers are to contain about 100 pages each ; the contents embracing the 
following subjects : 

1. The greater part of the Magazine will be made up of original articles relating to American 
History previous to 1850. This includes, in addition to general articles, biographies, local histories, 
traditions, old manuscripts and letters, notes and queries, and in a broad and liberal way anything 
which will add to our knowledge of the history of the country up to the middle of the present century. 
1 For full statements regarding the Magazine, its editorial and business management, etc., etc., see reports 
of Magazine Committee in Proceedings of Board, Magazine for June, 1S94.) It is believed that this 
portion of the Magazine will be of value to all students of history, and that it will merit the hearty 
interest not only of students but of all American citizens. Particularly will it appeal to all members 
of patriotic societies, and it is hoped that "Sons," "Dames" and "Daughters" will unite in support 
of the American Monthly Magazine. 

2. In addition to the historical articles, the Magazine will contain certain matter of especial in- 
terest to Daughters of the American Revolution. A. Matter relating to the National Society, viz.: 
Minutes and official announcements of the Board of Management ; biographical sketches of all national 
officers and state regents (not exceeding one page each in length) ; and contributed articles relating to 
the past and future of the Society ; to its objects and their advancement. B. Matter relating to Chapters, 
viz.: Brief annual reports from all Chapters stating how they have promoted the objects of the Society: 
and articles suggesting means by which the usefulness of Chapters may be promoted. 

Illustrations of historical subjects are to be a feature each month. 

The March and April numbers are to contain only the proceedings of the Continental Congress 
and the minutes of the Board which are then ready for publication. They are not limited in pages. 
The April number each year will be accompanied by a Supplement, containing a full and correct directorv 
of all Chapters, officers, and members of the D. A. R.* 

As Mrs. Ellen Hardin Walworth is retiring from the editorship of the Magazine, her efficient 
management closing with the fourth volume, it is desirable that the newly elected editor should begin 
her work with the knowledge that she has the hearty cooperation and support of all Daughters. 
May we not add your name to the list of subscribers ?
